💎21 Timeless Health Rules to Live By in

🧠 1. Guard Your Mind Like Gold

Mental health is the foundation of total health. Your thoughts shape your hormones, decisions, and destiny. Start your mornings with silence, gratitude, or prayer — not social media.

🥗 2. Eat Food That Remembered the Sun

Choose real, living foods — vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts, fish, lean meats. If it comes in a box or glows in the dark, your body doesn’t want it.

💧 3. Hydrate Like It’s a Ritual

Water cleanses, heals, and powers every cell. Aim for 2–3 liters daily. Start your day with a glass of water before anything else.

🕺 4. Move to Stay Alive

Exercise isn’t about vanity — it’s about vitality. Move every day: walk, stretch, lift, dance. Motion is medicine.

😴 5. Defend Your Sleep Fiercely

Sleep is not laziness — it’s your body’s nightly repair mode. Prioritize 7–8 hours. No phone an hour before bed. Darkness, quiet, and routine matter.

🌤️ 6. Morning Sun Is Your Natural Antidepressant

Ten minutes of sunlight resets your circadian rhythm, boosts vitamin D, and improves mood. Step outside early.

🧬 7. Get Your Blood Work Done, Not Just Your Selfies

Prevention is smarter (and cheaper) than cure. Know your baseline numbers: blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, hormones.

☕ 8. Moderate What Feeds You — Physically and Digitally

Limit caffeine, alcohol, processed foods — and toxic information. Too much of anything disturbs your balance.

❤️ 9. Keep Your Relationships Clean

Emotional toxins are more dangerous than sugar. Choose peace over pride. Love deeply, forgive quickly.

💻 10. Sit Less, Stand More

Sedentary living is the new smoking. Get up every 30 minutes. Use stairs. Stretch. Walk during calls.

🧘 11. Train Your Nervous System

Learn to stay calm under stress — through breathing, mindfulness, or prayer. A stable nervous system is the mark of true strength.

🦷 12. Your Mouth Is the Gateway to Your Body

Oral health is linked to heart health and brain function. Brush, floss, and see your dentist — your smile reflects your well-being.

🌿 13. Respect Your Gut

70% of your immunity lives there. Feed it with fiber, fermented foods, and kindness. Don’t abuse it with stress or junk food.

📅 14. Schedule Rest Before Burnout

Downtime is a form of discipline. Resting strategically keeps you productive long-term.

💊 15. Medicine Is Evolving — Stay Educated

From AI diagnostics to personalized medicine, health knowledge doubles every few months. Stay informed, not outdated.

🫁 16. Breathe Like You Mean It

Slow, deep breathing lowers blood pressure, anxiety, and inflammation. It’s free medicine you can use anytime.

🧴 17. Protect Your Skin — It’s Your First Defense

Hydrate, moisturize, and use sunscreen. Skin health mirrors internal health.

🩺 18. Invest in Health Before Wealth

Money without health is regret disguised as success. The richest people buy time; the wisest protect their bodies.

📵 19. Digital Detox Is Not a Luxury — It’s Survival

Unplug weekly. Your brain needs boredom to heal and reset.

🌱 20. **Live by the “80-Year Rule”

Before any choice — food, drink, stress — ask: *Will this help me still be strong at 80?* Longevity is built daily.

✨ 21. Be Grateful. It’s Biochemical.

Gratitude lowers cortisol, boosts immunity, and rewires your brain toward joy. It’s not spiritual fluff — it’s neuroscience.

🩷 Final Note:

> “Health is not just the absence of disease — it’s the abundance of energy, clarity, and peace that allows you to live fully.”

READ THIS: IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE!
Copied from Dr. Anthony Fidel Uwah

The size of the bladder is 40 - 60 cl. A bottle of coke is 50cl. As the bladder stores more urine it can enlarge up to 300cl. An overfilled bladder may leak and this leads to wetting / urinary incontinence. Also the volume may put pressure on the kidney and may lead to kidney damage.
What may likely bring the man to hospital is acute urinary retention. He wakes up one day and he is not able to pass urine.

Everything I have described above is associated with prostate enlargement, technically called benign prostate hyperplasia.

There are other diseases of the prostate like:
1. Prostatitis – inflammation of the prostate
2. Prostate cancer – cancer of the prostate.

This discussion is on prostate enlargement.

I have bad news and good news.

The bad news is that everyman will have prostate enlargement if he lives long enough.
The good news is that there are life style changes that can help the man after 40 to maintain optimum prostate health.

Nutrition
Look at what you eat. 33% of all cancers, according to the US National Cancer Institute is related to what we eat.
Red meat everyday triples your chances of prostate disease. Milk everyday doubles your risk. Not taking fruits / vegetables daily quadruples your risk.

Tomatoes are very good for men. If that is the only thing your wife can present in the evening, eat it with joy. It has loads of lycopene. Lycopene is the most potent natural antioxidant.
Foods that are rich in zinc are also good for men. We recommend pumpkin seeds (ugbogulu).
Zinc is about the most essential element for male sexuality and fertility.

Men need more zinc than women. Every time a man ej******es he loses 15mg of zinc. Zinc is also important for alcohol metabolism. Your liver needs zinc to metabolize alcohol.

ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
As men begin to have urinary symptoms associated with prostate enlargement, it is important they look at alcohol consumption. More fluid in means more fluid out.

Drink less. Drink slowly.

EXERCISE
Exercise helps build the muscle tone. Every man should exercise. Men over 40 should avoid high impact exercise like jogging. It puts pressure on the knees. Cycling is bad news for the prostate. We recommend brisk walking.

SITTING
When we sit, two-third of our weight rests on the pelvic bones. Men who sit longer are more prone to prostate symptoms. Do not sit for long hours. Walk around as often as you can. Sit on comfortable chairs. We recommend a divided saddle chair if you must sit long hours.

DRESSING
Men should avoid tight underwear. It impacts circulation around the groin and heats it up a bit. While the physiological temperature is 37 degrees, the groin has an optimal temperature of about 33 degrees. Pant is a no - no for men. Wear boxers. Wear breathable clothing.

SMOKING
Avoid smoking. It affects blood vessels and impact circulation around the groin.

S*X
REGULAR S*X IS GOOD FOR THE PROSTRATE

Celibates are more prone to prostate illness. While celibacy is a moral decision, it is not a biological adaptation. Your prostate gland is designed to empty its contents regularly.
NB: S*X MUST BE WITHIN D CONFINES OF MARRIAGE.

Thought: when someone shares something of value with you and U benefit from it. You have a moral obligation to share it with others because someone in your friends list might be saved.

GOD BLESS U ALL

UNDERSTANDING BIOCHEMISTRY THE BIOCHEMISTRY OF POTATOES
(A Phytochemical approach)

Potatoes are a nutritious, healthy food that are rich in vitamins A, C, & B-complex and minerals such as manganese, iron, magnesium, and potassium. Potatoes contain an antioxidant called quercetin which has anti-cancer and cardio-protective properties as well as a storage protein called patatin which has been shown to exhibit activity against disease causing free radicals.

Potatoes are an excellent source of B6, a vitamin which is essential for the formation of almost every new cell in the body. Vitamin B6 also is a vital component for the neurological system and for the creation of amines which are neurotransmitters that send messages from one nerve to the next.

This makes potatoes an important food for those who are heavy thinkers and those recovering from stress damage and adrenal exhaustion. They are also particularly beneficial for depression, insomnia, sleep disorders, brain fog, and stress related illnesses. Potatoes are also known to be good for promoting cardiovascular health and are highly beneficial for reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, atherosclerosis, and COPD.

Potatoes themselves are virtually fat-free and packed with dietary fiber which helps to prevent constipation and protect the colon from polyps and cancer. Their high fiber content also helps to lower blood LDL cholesterol and keep blood sugar levels stable and within normal range. Fresh raw potatoes are a rich source of vitamin C, enzymes, minerals, and antibiotic properties and can be juiced with fresh tomatoes, lemons, or other vegetables for additional health benefits.

Steamed potatoes are the most healthy form of cooked potato and will ensure that they retain most of their vitamins and minerals and remain a strongly alkaline, healing food. Potatoes can be readily found at your local grocery and health food stores.
